New Here, Could Use Some Help

[Midnytecloud]

i placed my first order with my freedom smokes, and it was a beginners kit with 2 diff flavors of liquid for 21 bucks. very cheap investment.

We don't have many vape shops nearby, and the ones we do have, they aren't exactly the most trustworthy, or knowledgeable.

Well, that's always disappointing to hear... I know exactly what you're talking about. I have a head shop 5 min up the road which has a good bit of e-cig parts and juice choices. The owner is a good guy, but the girl with the nose ring, dreads, patchouli smell, and attitude that runs the business in the evening (after school I'm assuming) is NOT a good choice for business. So I grab my lunch to-go and make the 30 minute hike up the interstate to a vapor shop that makes me feel like I walked into Hooters with my own personal escort.

Speaking solely from my experience, the type of unit you purchase seems to be a direct reflection on what type of person you are. i.e... most of the people I know are low level white collar workers who like to party. I have about 6 fiends that have quit traditional tobacco and gone the e-cig route. Most of us have tried the disposable e-cigs and all have gotten away from those. Two of us chewed tobacco (me included), one inhaled Black n Mild cigars (I still shudder at the thought), and three smoked cigarettes.

All of us but one of the cigarette smokers started with the ego twist and graduated to a Kanger tank, all are still satisfied with the improved health and reduced cost; four of us have kids. Two of us have recently switched to mechanical. I am still the only one rebuilding atomizers (which if you are mechanically inclined in the furthest stretch of the imagination, I recommend it). The rest, just buy lots of atomizers and give me the used metal which I appreciate greatly.

The last cigarette smoker is a single girl. She is a bit of a "princess", and must have all the newest "posh" stuff. She drives a Mercedes, and no, not the cheap one. She got her BF to buy her a beautiful $300 drip-tip setup after smoking the disposables for 3 months. She hates it. Always complaining what a PITA it is to "constantly refill the stupid thing every time I want to puff"...
However, everything might work out great. I have offered to buy her a kanger tank and twist battery in exchange for her setup. I'll just have to get over the PINK Lipo Box Mod. It does have a black chrome Nucleaus (bonus).

So, moral of the story, grab the ego starter kit. Go up from there.

My reccomendation is 2 get the MVP 2 Starter Kit... It's the most reliable mod I've found has lasted for the last 7 months without issues... Been through a lot of e go style batteries... They're kinda weak for throat hit cuz of their limitations plus slightly unreliable... It'll cost a bit more at first but in the long run save $$$. When u can afford it try the Aspire Nautalis or KangerTech Aerotank on it... Great Flavor and throat hit

Well, I got my vapemail on time today. MFS proved me wrong and eased my mind about ordering from them. Not only did my package arrive on time, they also threw in a free 3ml bottle of Desert Ship e-liquid.
My gf and I went to Redd Dragon vapes in Oxford, NC today and picked up some e-liquid. I got red velvet, she got a coffee with french vanilla and she also got a ego starter kit with a Smok EBC tank. I think we went a little high on the nicotine at 18%, hers is a little harsh, but tolerable. Mine is smooth as long as its under 4v, over 4v I get a nice solid hit and plenty of flavor and vapor. The customer service was top notch, I cannot for the life of me remember the clerks name, but he was so helpful and patient with us. We will definitely be visiting them again, and again.
I am almost 100% sure that i'm done with analogs. We're going to put them up out of sight for now. I want to thank you all for your help, and hopefully some of you are wrong about me making a bad choice of starting points. I've already decided to pick up an Aspire Et-s tank for the ego-c and then I want to step into a cheapish mech mod down the road. The clerk at Redd Dragon was working on his and it looked like something that would keep me interested for a while.
